Framing the Archaeological Data in Islamic Sicily. An Outlook from the Trapani Mountains (2016)

unapi

This paper aims to show how a renewed theoretical and methodological approach to Islamic Sicily can provide new insights into the organization of the rural communities in the Trapani Mountains between the ninth and twelfth centuries. The first part is dedicated to the definition of ‘Islamic social formation’ and ‘tributary mode of production’, and to the integration of both concepts in the debate on al-Andalus, for the characterization of a medieval Islamic society. This theoretical background is indispensable for advocating the relevance of establishing comparisons between Islamic Sicily and al-Andalus. Finally, the last three sections will show how these new methodological approaches and their theoretical background can provide a historical interpretation of the archaeological record.
